Pencil and ink on card, c. 1895

Founded in 1873, the Théâtre de la Renaissance was a Parisian theatre company based in the boulevard Saint-Martin, which is still active today.
During the 1880s, the theatre went through a series of management problems, but in 1893 Bernhardt bought the lease and ran it as actor-director-producer until 1899.
